"Alright, we"ll ask if there"s anyone in the village. We"ll pay them a long time, since there"s no shortage of fertilizer at home. If that"s the case, the more than ten pigs in the village won"t be able to get enough fertilizer for ten mu of land."Mu Jinzhi took out the land deed he had on him and placed it on a small piece of land. "Look at this little sister, Village Head Grandpa has given us more than an acre of land at the back of the house for free."
The old man had gained several dozens of silver taels, so he did not bother to do anything personal: "Originally there were only eleven mu of land, but Village Head Grandpa said that the land in front of the houses could not be considered to have been built properly. Furthermore, the sloping land in front of the houses could not be built either, so we will just use ten mu as the land."
This village chief was really capable, "Our family picked out ten acres of land from the river. Village Head Grandpa told me in secret that it would make it easier to water the river."
From choosing a place to completing the procedures, it was all Mu Jinzhi doing. Mu Rousang wanted to train his abilities, but she couldn"t nurture a bookworm.
We"ll do as Big Brother says. Since it"s already in the middle of winter, and Mother pa.s.sed away last November, this means that we"re in a bad situation. The house should have been destroyed, the house should have been renovated, and the walls should have been painted with white powder.
Mu Rousang"s wish was finally going to be fulfilled.
Mu Jinzhi nodded in agreement. Seeing his sister"s smiling face, he felt gratified in his heart, "I"ll make a house for myself after the spring freeze next year."
"Really, big brother, this is great. Let me tell you, our house is going to be built like this, and we even need to build a huge white wall …"
The clear voice of a child echoed through the air, echoing through the brick houses that were filled with wind, tearing a path in the cold wind and gradually drifting to a grave at the foot of the mountain. Two snow flakes were quietly falling on top of the grave, bringing Mu Rousang"s clear voice over, the white wall, green brick, gla.s.s roof …
Mu Rousang raised her head and looked towards the window in puzzlement: "Brother, did you hear someone sigh just now?"
Mu Jinzhi was also suspicious, facing his sister"s anxious eyes, in the end, he shook his head, probably because of the wind blowing at the eaves.
The next day, the weather was clear and Mu Jinzhi had already gone to school. In a few days, the school would need to have a holiday.
"Rou Sang!" Mu Rousang was busy planting fruit trees and seedlings in her s.p.a.ce. After the fifteenth day of the first month, she was prepared to start constructing a courtyard so that she could grow trees in February.
"He"s here!" After coming out of the room, she changed into a pair of clean cotton shoes and put on her clogs before opening the door to the courtyard.
"Peach Blossom, come in quickly. Is it cold?" Mu Rousang really liked this cute little Peach Blossom.
Peach Blossom shook her head. "Rou Sang, hurry and lock the door. Today, there"s a fish fish in the small pond at the village entrance. My mother told me to send you a message. Remember to bring a big wooden bucket."
Fishing? Mu Rousang was familiar with a few places in the village, but she knew about the small pond at the entrance.
"Un, quickly put on more clothes. We will always be playing by the pond today!" It was the nature of every child to be lively. Peach Blossom Little Girl was no exception.
"Alright, wait for me for a while. We"ll take some Chinese pumpkin seed to eat!" Mu Rousang thought that he had to stand up on his tiptoes to watch the show.
The Peach Blossom little girl"s eyes lit up. She knew that Mu Rousang"s Chinese pumpkin seed was extremely tasty, and was extremely greedy. However, her mother did not allow her to ask Rou Sang for the melon seeds.
"Really, I even made two small bags, one for each of us!" Could she say that the one-shouldered backpack was her favorite?
"Why don"t you come in first. There"s plenty of water in the pond. How are we going to fish?" Mu Rousang pulled her in and blocked the door.
"You don"t know? "Yesterday, there was a lot of water at the pond. I heard that it will dry up by today."
Yesterday? Yesterday, her house had a bunch of high quality goods, causing her to have no time to go anywhere. "Come, let"s go inside."
She pulled the peach blossoms into the room and took out two small bags from the cupboard. One was light blue, one was pink, and there was nothing she could do.
"Ah, so beautiful!" On top of the pink bag was a white rabbit made from white rabbit skin sc.r.a.ps, and also a pair of red eyes made from red cloth.
The Peach Blossom little girl happily hugged her small bag. "Rou Sang, I really like it!" His eyes were bright and clear, like clean white snow on a roof.
Mu Rousang"s emotions were infected by her, "I made this especially for you, to give you a new year gift."
Peach Blossom touched left and looked again, hearing her say that it was a New Year"s gift, she was worried. "Rou Sang, I also want to give you a New Year"s gift!"
He stretched out his small hands and fished around in his arms for a long time before taking out two sesame sugar s, causing Mu Rousang to roll her eyes: "No need, oh, that"s right, I had nothing to do at home previously, so I made some candies. Wait a moment."
She really didn"t want to catch those two sesame sugar s that had been hidden by the peach blossoms for who knows how long, so she quickly ran to the cupboard room.
He quickly took out the box containing the candies from the cupboard and picked up a few pieces that were good for lotus leaf packet. He pa.s.sed them to the little tail behind him: "Peach Blossom, come and taste the taste of the candies!"
The peach blossoms had already smelled the aroma of the peanuts. Taking a bite out of it, they took it out to see if the candy was broken. "Rou Sang, why can"t I bite off more?!"
"Pfft, that"s why it"s called cowhide candy!" This type of sugar is very chewy, it would take a long time to finish eating one piece, with one bite being less, just in case it would stick to the teeth and not get stuck. " She put the rest of her bag in the new one and hung it on her.
"Yeah, it"s delicious. Ah, so this is how the bag is used. It"s so convenient, I can put all my snacks in here from now on."
Mu Rousang also used two large bundles of lotus leaf packet s, which were enough for two people to eat for the better half of the day. " "Wait a moment, I"ll go find a vest and put it on." The coat she made for herself and Mu Jinzhi was not that thick. It was mainly for convenience, adding the many rabbit skin s in the family, some were long, some were short, some were wearing cloaks, some were rolling on the shoulders, doing a lot.
She was wearing a pink silk waistcoat that was brought over by Yang Zixuan last time. Mu Rousang was also a charming person, her family had good materials, she wanted to make a few sets of clothes, but with Yang Zixuan blocking her front, her family would wear better, and others would think that it was given by their owner.
"Rou Sang, the fur on your clothes is so beautiful!" The peach blossoms were filled with envy.
"Yes, this is made by Bunny Hair. Peach Blossom, let"s go." Since she was generous to the Qin family, she couldn"t just give them whatever she had!
"Alright, let"s hurry up and go!"
The two of them treaded on their wooden clogs and walked to the village entrance. At this moment, they had surrounded the aunts. Those men and women had already started a fire by the pond and even set up several jars of strong liquor.
He could smell the smell of turbid wine from far away and heard the powerful shouts. Mu Rousang had an illusion that he had arrived at a paradise and there was only peace and joy.
"Rou Sang, hurry up and leave. There are so many people!" The little girl Peach Blossom"s little face was red with excitement. Such a lively scene was rarely seen all year round.
"Yo, the Sang girl is here. Hurry to the pyrethrum"s side."
"Why did you go out on such a cold day? I was planning to wait for the fish to split up before I asked my family"s brat to send it to you."
"Come on, come on, come on, give me that wooden barrel for you. Little girl, your wooden bucket is too small."
"Haha, Sang girl, you must come to my house to play during the new year!"
"How shameless, you must be greedy for someone"s New Year greeting gift!"
"When did I say that? I just wanted to thank her and her sister. We will be able to live through the Year of Red Fires."
Just as Mu Rousang walked to the side of the pond, a group of old grannies surrounded him. Just as Mu Rousang walked to the side of the pond, a group of old grannies surrounded him.
There was a hole dug in one side of the pond, and a large circle had been made around the hole with mud. Many old and young men were there, scooping up water with buckets.
"When will the water in this pond be ready?" She didn"t understand any of this.
Auntie Zhou from the village also shouted loudly, but when she heard her question, she laughed loudly and said, "Almost there, almost there. This year is going to be a good harvest year, I never thought that the village head would arrange for this year"s drying of ponds."
"Isn"t the pond doing it every year?" Mu Rousang asked curiously.
"Every year? "How can that be? Raising those fish for a year isn"t even enough to fill the gaps between our teeth, and we don"t even have two taels of meat on our bodies. That"s true, the last time we dried the pond was three years ago, when you were still young." Auntie Zhou recalled that Mu Laisan had died that year.
"Rou Sang, look, there"s fish jumping around." Peach Blossom did not want to be lonely, as even adults could not talk to her, so she could only pull Mu Rousang and speak.
"Yes, there are enough fish in this pond." Thinking about it, after only letting the water in for three years, how could there not be a lot of water in the pond?
Another aunt answered, "Yes, it looks like every household can weigh a few dozen pounds this year." Her temper was more gentle, and she talked neither fast nor slow.
Mu Rousang looked at the people around her without leaving a trace, and realized that no one had used her clothes to talk, so it was clear that they could accept this fact. Sang girl, you have come. My family is truly thankful to you two siblings! " A frail old lady squeezed through the crowd. "This is a little sweet potato jerky my family has baked this year, Sang girl doesn"t mind."
Mu Rousang did not recognize this old lady. "Old granny, you are …"
"She is the Zhong Family"s old lady," explained the usual Mrs. Zhou enthusiastically.
"h.e.l.lo, Grandma Zhong!" Mu Rousang responded very politely, causing the aunties by her side to nod their heads. It would not be wrong to call him a young miss to have such a well-mannered demeanor.
Everyone in the village knew that the Mu Family had gained a lot from this pickle. However, every family had more or less received some silver coins and twice the price compared to the ones outside. No one dared to say anything for fear of offending this little G.o.d of wealth.
"Sang girl, please don"t mind it. Hurry up and accept it." The old lady of the Zhong family insisted on giving it to her.
It turned out that the old lady of the Zhong family was very good at giving birth. She had given birth to four sons, and the family was originally two acres worth of land.
The son"s family was divided into the tenants" field, and her family was supposed to make a small fortune. They agreed to come to the ten acres of land next year, but the family was so poor that they couldn"t even open the pot. They planted a few acres of cabbages in the field, which was the food for their large family.
Her family had sold more than half of the cabbages in exchange for a few acres of land.
"Grandma Zhong, I believe that everyone"s life will get better." Her goal was to bring out a group of Humble Cla.s.s students from the small mountain village, so this year"s good days were only the beginning.
After chatting for a few more hours, it was already afternoon.
"Fishing! Fishing!" A man was standing in the pond, shouting at the top of his lungs. The strong alcohol made his excited face red.
Every house was divided into twenty kilograms and could be exchanged for quite a bit of silver. Everyone stretched their necks in excitement as the water in the pond was scooped up until there was only a thin layer of water. White fishes could be seen jumping everywhere.
"Everyone, be careful. Pick up the clams first and carefully take a step forward. Don"t let the clam sh.e.l.l scratch your feet or else you"ll get into trouble if you don"t get the dog meat." It was still the same loud voice.
"Haha, bro, which brick bed do you want?"
"Scram! This freezing day, I miss my home so much that I have to hurry up!" If you don"t want to be in the dark, then be quick about it, you guys! "
